We often feel betrayed in relationships when someone doesn’t honor their word or live up to our expectations. While honoring our past commitments demonstrates integrity, it sometimes requires others to act contrary to what now feels right or appropriate. Because we all evolve at a different pace, our needs and desires change and we can’t always predict where change will take us. Even when betrayal feels personal, it rarely is. Wanting someone to honor a commitment seems reasonable, but when it no longer suits them, it isn’t loving. When we truly love someone, we want for them…
What they want.
